Superflex Mock Draft: The Draft Hack You’ll Want to Copy

Superflex drafts are challenging.

Adding that second starting QB slot cranks up the positional scarcity and tests your ability to navigate your early picks.

Superflex Mock Drafts Are Key To Success

The smartest way to master this chaos? Reps.

Superflex mock drafts let you pinpoint value pockets at every position -- especially QB -- and pressure-test different roster builds before the real thing.

That’s exactly what I did in a series of mock drafts with the Draft Sharks Mock Draft Trainer.

I deployed three different strategies in the mock drafts to see how they'd stack up in projected points per game:

Let’s break down each draft, see what worked (and what didn’t), and lock in your winning plan for 2025 superflex leagues.

 

Superflex Mock Draft No. 1: Wait on QBs

I didn't take my first QB in this superflex mock draft until Round 6.

Instead, I grabbed WR CeeDee Lamb at 1.06 — the second non-QB off the board — then landed our RB3, Christian McCaffrey, in Round 2.

In the third, A.J. Brown gave me two top-9 WRs plus a top-tier RB before I even thought about a signal-caller. 

Here's how the first three rounds unfolded:

Win At RB, WR, and TE

Waiting on QB can be a fun build, allowing you to stockpile talent at the other positions. In this particular superflex mock draft, I ended up with:

• Two of the top 10 RBs in our rankings
• Three of the top 11 WRs (and four of the top 25)

This strategy can also lead you to a top-tier TE. In this mock, I easily could’ve skipped Tee Higgins at 4.07 and scooped up George Kittle instead.

Can You Survive at QB?

Of course, pushing off QB leaves you playing catch-up at the position. But with smart depth and matchup plays, you can survive — and even thrive — if your studs at other positions deliver.

This year's QB pool looks as flat as ever. Our fantasy football tiers have eight QBs in Tier 3 and another six in Tier 4. Those guys were still hanging around into the ninth round in this mock draft.

I was able to grab J.J. McCarthy and Tua Tagovailoa (Tier 3), plus Geno Smith (Tier 4). Playing matchups with those three guys could produce enough points to compete with the teams that spent third- and fourth-round picks at the position. And if one or two of those guys crushes ADP, this roster becomes a serious problem for the rest of the league.

Superflex Mock Draft No. 2: Hero QB (one early QB)

I used the sixth overall pick of this superflex mock draft on Jalen Hurts to anchor my QB room.

Then I started attacking the other positions, grabbing WR Nico Collins in Round 2, RB Jonathan Taylor in Round 3, and four more position players before pivoting back to QB.

Here's how the first three rounds of this mock played out:

Can This Strategy Work? It Depends ...

The Hero QB plan shines when you can snag a true stud early — then watch your league mates reach for middle-tier QBs while you pile up blue-chip talent at every other spot.

That reaching didn't happen in this particular superflex mock draft. Only 10 QBs went in the first four rounds, so there wasn’t the usual QB run to exploit. This wasn’t the ideal board for Hero QB.

But you'll find plenty of drafts with 15+ QBs going in the first few rounds. That's a perfect time to execute the Hero QB strategy, loading up on position players before landing a cheap QB2.

Leverage the QB Landscape

This strategy can work particularly well in this year's QB landscape. Check out the tiers at the position and you'll see a clear 'Big 5' in Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow. Securing one of those guys gives you a big weekly and season-long advantage over your opponents.

After Burrow, there’s a sharp drop, then a plateau stretching into the 20s. By skipping that mid-tier and waiting on your QB2, you’re banking value at RB, WR, and TE while losing very little at QB.

In this superflex mock, I held off until Round 8 to grab Tua Tagovailoa, who projects similarly to guys drafted two or three rounds earlier.

Superflex Mock Draft No. 3: Two Early QBs

I didn’t mess around with QB depth in this superflex mock draft.

Just like in the previous mock, Jalen Hurts slipped to me at 1.06 — an easy pick to secure an elite weekly floor and ceiling.

Only one QB went before my next turn, so I snagged Christian McCaffrey at 2.07 to lock down a high-end RB1. Then, instead of continuing to stockpile WRs and RBs, I snapped up Kyler Murray at 3.06 as my QB2.

Here's how the first three rounds shook out:

My Team and Post-Draft Analysis

And the Winner is ...

The Two Early QBs strategy netted the highest projected points across these three mock drafts. I landed a pair of top-7 QBs, without sacrificing too much at the other positions. I have three of our top 20 RBs and three top-25 WRs.

Two Early QBs isn't the optimal strategy in every draft, or in every season. In fact, we did this same exercise last year ... and this strategy yielded the fewest projected points.

2025 Sets Up Well For Two Early QBs

It was a different landscape in 2024, when Superflex ADP had seven QBs inside the top-15 picks and nine inside the first two rounds. That made it tough to land two high-end signal callers.

It's different now. Check it out:

High-end QBs are falling significantly further in superflex drafts this year than last. That makes it less expensive to capture a pair of passers with lofty weekly and season-long ceilings.

Do Your Own Superflex Mock Drafts

The three strategies above are just a taste. There are countless ways to tweak and test your superflex plan. Maybe an elite TE like Trey McBride in the “Wait on QBs” strategy projects even better. Perhaps taking a second QB a bit earlier in a “Hero QB” build is the way to go.

The only way to find out is to run your own superflex mock drafts.

And there’s no better tool for that than the Draft Sharks Mock Draft Trainer.

Draft against our custom-built algorithm, tailor the settings to match your exact league rules, and see how different strategies shake out — fast.

Each mock takes just a few minutes and delivers instant feedback, showing how your squad stacks up with both Draft Sharks projections and the industry consensus.

Get to work.
